Preserving Comments during revision #46

Closed Taeben10 closed 11 years ago

Taeben10 commented 11 years ago

When a document owner revises the document, they have the option to prevent relevant comments from being deleted from the comment stream. For example, if the owner changes a period to an exclamation mark they can carry the comments from the previous revision over to the new version. (If they chose not to do this and refresh the comments the comments are then archived and still accessible, just not front and center). Sorry if this issue is messed up, its muh first time.

By "being deleted", I'm assuming you mean a revision isn't created, keeping all current comments attached to the current Part - as they are still relevant because the edit was so minor.

When a document owner revises the document, they have the option to prevent a new revision from being created, hence continuing the stream of comments.

@Taeben10 No worries, just wanted to clarify.

I was thinking we could have an optional text field where the user can describe their edit if they so choose. It would provide some context when looking at the history. If they opt out of creating a revision, the input field would hide.

So your options are:

  1. make a quick edit with no revision
  2. make a more substantial edit and provide some context

Sounds great to me.

Closing this for now. Mostly because the desired behavior changed quite a bit:
